You can set the padding individually for each border (top, bottom, left,
right).

Subject: [iText-questions] PdfPCell aligning to baseline rather than bottom
of font?
> While not really noticable at smaller font sizes, it appears that

> ptable.getDefaultCell().setBorderColor(Color.RED);
> ptable.getDefaultCell().setBorder(Rectangle.BOX);
> ptable.getDefaultCell().setBorderWidth(.1f);

> ptable.addCell(new Phrase("Testing",
